Bitmap Graphic

A bitmap graphic, or Raster Graphic, is a digital image of tiny squares called pixels. The pixels are arranged in a grid, and each pixel is assigned a color. Bitmap graphics can appear natural when viewed from a distance or small scale. However, when viewed up close or when the image is enlarged, they appear blurry and "pixelated". The term bitmap comes from computer programming terminology, meaning "a map of bits".
